This study looks at how inflammation in the gums relates to genes in adults with obesity. Researchers want to understand why some people with obesity develop more gum disease, which could lead to better treatments.
This study looks at how obesity may relate to oral (mouth) health problems in adults. It may help identify patterns that could guide better prevention or care for mouth health.
This trial looks at how severe obesity in children affects gum health and heart risks. It tests whether a simple gum exam can help guide future care.
This study tests whether adding a special light-activated cleaning (antimicrobial photodynamic therapy) to standard gum disease treatment can help people with obesity who have gum disease. It aims to see if this extra step improves gum health more than standard treatment alone.
This trial looks at the bacteria in the mouths of people with a BMI of 30 or higher who are scheduled for weight-loss surgery. The goal is to understand how gum health and body weight are connected.
This study looks at how GLP-1 receptor agonists (medicines for diabetes or weight loss) affect the results of non-surgical gum disease treatment in adults with overweight and periodontitis. If you are 18-65, have a BMI of 25 or higher, have gum disease, and have at least 20 teeth, you may be eligible. Participants will either continue their usual care or take a GLP-1 medicine, and then receive standard gum treatment.
